Subject: barbecue vs. sloppy joe
The barbecue sandwiches that I am now priviged to eat here in the Deep
South, shredded pork or beef covered with sauce, are a real treat and
a far cry from the ground-hamburger-in-tomato-sauce sloppy joe sandwiches
that they would stick in my throat as kid growing up in Chicago. I do
recall, vaguely, sloppy joe referred to as barbecue, but, in my memory
at least, sloppy joe was the preferred term then (50's & 60's).
